NEW WORKS
29 May – 13 June, 2009

Greenhill Galleries is pleased to be exhibiting a fresh collection of new works by acclaimed South Australian artist, Jim Thalassoudis. Thalassoudis has become hot property of late, with a large work completed last year, entitled ’Love Art’, purchased by the Art Gallery of South Australia (before Thalassoudis was even able to hang it for public viewing).

Capturing passionate glimpses of the landscape, Thalassoudis explores those few precious moments just before the sun rises in the morning and just after it disappears at night. Often featuring the beautiful discolouration of clouds only found at this time of ay, these works could be considered a meditation on a moment. In some contrast, Jim also incorporates an industrial element to several of his works, using silhouettes of buildings and large ships, and neon signage.

“My paintings result from the intense observation of the sky and its minute changes. The passing of another day, looking west into the setting sun, the fleeting moment, beguiling us to want it to last longer.”

Jim has exhibited extensively in Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne as well as overseas shows in Hong Kong, Singapore and New York. His work is represented in numerous collections including Parliament House (Canberra), Art Gallery of South Australia, Artbank, University of South Australia Art Museum, Gold Coast City Art Gallery and many corporate and private collections.
